Case #5: Mississippi River Crossing Preference <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that at the City Council meeting of November 23, 1999, <br />County Commissioner Dennis Berg and County Engineer Jon Olson, appeared before the City <br />Council to discuss various public works issues. One of the items discussed involved the <br />proposed crossing of the Mississippi River. County Engineer Olson stated that the reason the <br />current Anoka County 2015 Transportation Plan included the proposed crossing of the <br />Mississippi River at the Mississippi West Regional Park area is because it had been done at the <br />request of the City of Ramsey. It was further noted that if the City of Ramsey desired to change <br />the location of the proposed Mississippi River bridge crossing, then it would be appropriate to <br />provide documentation of the proposed river crossing location. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Chairperson Zimmerman, to recommend <br />that City Council adopt the resolution asserting the proposed Mississippi River crossing <br />preference. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmember Zimmerman, and Councilmember Hendriksen. <br />Voting No: None <br /> <br />Case #6: Consider Entering into Traffic Control Signal Agreement No. 79972M <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski presented the Committee with a proposed agreement with MnDOT <br />which outlines the maintenance responsibilities of the City in conjunction with the new signals <br />on T.H. #47, to be installed at C.S.A.H. #5/Xkimo Street, 149th Avenue/Sunwood Drive and <br />153ra Avenue, but noted that his recollection of who takes care of what is different than what is <br />included in the document. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Chairperson Zimmerman, to table the issue <br />for further information. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmember Zimmerman, and Councilmember Hendriksen. <br />Voting No: None <br /> <br />COMMITTEE INPUT <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen requested that staff develop a resolution similar to the one in Case <br />#5 for the realignment of T.H. #47 and initiate the process for the upgrading the preservation <br />status of T.H. #47 to construction status. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if the City is in the process of obtaining any of the <br />easements for the extension of C.R. #116 past C.R. 83. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that he will research the information. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/March 21, 2000 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
